Bookbinder’s Restaurant

125 Walnut Street, Philadelphia PA 19106
$$$ Seafood Special Offer

Established in 1865, Old Original Bookbinder's restaurant has long been a Philadelphia landmark for legendary seafood. With a recently renovated interior and the addition of Executive Chef David Cunningham, the restaurant is still well worth a visit almost a century and a half later. Diners rave about the enormous lobsters, which are prepared fresh from an appropriately-proportioned lobster tank that holds over 350 of the crustaceans at once. Cunningham’s contemporary menu both pays homage to “Bookie’s” legacy, with original dishes such as snapper soup and strawberry shortcake, and adds a delectably modern twist with dishes such as tuna tartare and spice-crusted swordfish.
